Right choice is (c) Koshland specificity

The explanation is: Specificity refers to discrimination of an enzyme between two competing substrates. They are three types of specificities as given below:

• Substrate specificity, reaction specificity and stereo specificity.

There nothing exists as Koshland specificity. But Koshland induced fit model which explains the enzyme substrate interaction and the rigidity of the active site.
